Find accrediting agencies and accredited institutions of higher learning at the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education Web site. Search by region, state, school, accrediting agency, institution, address or city. The list of search results includes address, phone number, Web site, name of accrediting institution and original date of accreditation.
The Council for Higher Education Accreditation charts accrediting organizations recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or the U.S. Department of Education. Search the CHEA database for accredited schools by name, state or accrediting institution.
Individual states also record unaccredited institutions. The Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs lists unaccredited degree granting institutions which have civil enforcement lawsuits in Hawaii, with links to the Complaints and Judgments.
Schools that once participated in the federal student aid program but have since closed can be searched by name, city or state.
State agencies that regulate postsecondary private schools may assist with finding the records of closed schools.

Avoid Fake-Degree Burns By Researching Academic Credentials
Very useful service. Thank you for the post.
I am a retired Counterintelligence Agent and Foreign Affairs Specialist. Now have my own PI Agency. Putting it bluntly. Anything that has a Nigerian connection is all Bogus period. Bogus are all the emails from Nigeria and he Ivory Coast, Ghana etc. that refer themselves as offspring of Kings and Queens who want assistance to get money out of the country by depositing in your account thus leaving you with a commission. Once they get the account number. Guess What next?????? I have been their undercover as a tourist and have seen all the games and know how they play them. The scams I have shared with FBI U.S. Treasury and Secret Service. Anything in Africa has a connection in the UK and Amsterdam. In final
anything from the African Continent that relates to monetary gifts etc. is BOGUS.
